The waiting chairs are so narrow and slippery that it's a bit difficult to sit on them. Relevant departments: the shape of the chair is specially designed to prevent vagrants from occupying it. Yesterday, a netizen posted a complaint on "JUJUBER" about the newly added waiting chairs at the bus stops along Renmin South Road in Chengdu being too narrow and slippery, "not even enough space for one's buttocks." Subsequently, the reporter investigated five bus stops along the line and learned that the new long benches were indeed not very popular. The relevant department responsible for the design said there was a reason for this "unique" shape.

Netizen Complaint: This chair is a gentle "torture"

The other day, the netizen "JUJUBER" raised objections to the design of the chairs at the bus stops along Renmin South Road: "Is this even called a bench? You can't sit steadily!! Do I need to slim down my butt?" A couple of days ago, while transferring buses at Renmin South Road, he saw a chair and excitedly sat down with a thud, only to be "thrown off" several times by the chair. After trying several times, he finally figured out that his feet had to press against the ground to sit steadily.

He joked that it seemed like sitting on a bench could help lose weight, "Even the slide we used as children could support my 'basket' completely." He said that if a beautiful lady wearing high heels sits on the bench, it would almost feel like torture.

Nearly 100 netizens responded. Netizen Ling said, "Big butts can't fit, small butts hurt, anyway, they're not suitable for sitting." Even some netizens who haven't tried sitting yet said, "I'll go try it specifically in a few days." Netizen "I Love Panda" said, "This chair has a good idea, but it might be a bit cruel for vagrants looking for a place to sleep."

Reporter Investigation: A 10-meter long bench only seated two people

Although there were many passengers waiting for the bus, the occupancy rate of the waiting chairs at the five stations along the line was less than 20%. At the Renmin South Road Section Four station, more than ten citizens stood on the platform waiting for the bus. Altogether, a stainless-steel long bench about 10 meters long only seated two people. Those slightly overweight had half their butts hanging outside the chair.

The reporter personally experienced it. As soon as he sat down, he slowly began to slide down; the chair was merely a "support point." Citizens generally reflected that the slanted surface of the chair was too steep, making it hard for one's buttocks to stay still. Citizen Mr. Zeng had to stand up and sit again after just one minute, and if it weren't for carrying too much luggage, "I wouldn't have been able to sit for long, this chair doesn't keep people."

It was the first time for Gansu tourists Su Shuanggui and his wife to visit Chengdu. He gestured with his hand on the chair, "This slant should be eliminated." He said, after playing around all day, they wanted to sit down and rest, and if the chair were wider, it would be better.

Citizen Li Min was relatively satisfied with the comfort level of the chair, "But it might be too cold to sit on in winter." Citizen Zhang Dongfang chose to stand instead of sitting, pointing at the dirt on the chair, saying, "It's too dirty, it will soil my pants." The newly launched stainless-steel chairs looked shiny and new from afar, but upon closer inspection, most places were covered with dust, water, and dirt.

Explanation from the Construction Committee: Comfortable chairs are easily occupied

A relevant official from the Major Office of the Chengdu Municipal Construction Committee said that the waiting chairs at the bus stops are part of the supporting renovation of Renmin South Road, and the shape of the chairs was specially designed. "Your feet must touch the ground to sit steadily, once your feet leave the ground, you start sliding," which is the feature specifically assigned to the chair during the design phase.

He said, considering past experiences comprehensively, flat and comfortable chairs in public places are easily taken as "beds" by vagrants. Once occupied by this small group of people, it not only affects the city's image but also makes it impossible for the general public to use them. Flat and comfortable chairs cannot improve their effective usage rate; the chairs at bus stops should only meet people's temporary rest needs, serving more people.

Regarding some citizens' comments that "stainless steel chairs are too cold," he said, using stainless steel material was carefully considered. Stainless steel is the most durable, aesthetically pleasing, and easy to clean.
